New Features
- Added new settings: Flick Panning and Zoom Bounce. Flick panning we believe is a must, and will make navigating the farm much easier. Zoom bounce, it depends on your computer.
- Improved how the game is played with laptop trackpads significantly. Up until now, it was very unplayable, as the trackpad sensibility was off the charts. Still more improvements to do.
- Added a Joe position pointer, making it easier to locate him when called. When you double click and he is outside the screen, a circle with a pointer appears in the direction he comes from, until he arrives in the visible area. Circle exterior is cream, and when you double click again (Joe’s “on the double” speed), the circle turns red.
- Blue Dot now gained enhanced tracking, with a more detailed description on how many things there are. It’s called Blue Dot Premium, and it is activated if you are a Daily Player. In its regular state, it says Plants/plots/trees ready!, same as before.
- You can now use 1/4/9 multitool with Fertilizer too. You can now use up a Fertilizer 20 bag instantly.
Gameplay Changes and Fixes
- Changed how Ducklings mature so you can actually see them growing. We omitted in development the situation where you feed the ducklings and log in after 20 hours, a case where they would already grown. When we create the Events, we don’t have a very strong idea on how exactly the Grand Prize should work, only that it should be very fun, and should behave in an interesting and as close to nature as possible. So, you complain, we change. 🙂 Now, if a duck is laying eggs and you return to the game (even after a full day), they will hatch first, then continue their 12-hour growth time instead of already being fully grown.
- Joe no longer requires energy to pick up Rotten Apples.
- Restored Rotten Apples to their original values, with a maximum of 22 per farm.
- Tree seed generation in Bellflower Meadow is now capped again at up to 2 seeds per day.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where Wild Trees could be planted in Bellflower Orchards. Once removed, they can no longer be replanted there.
- Fixed an issue where the path from Bellflower Meadow could be moved to other expansions but not restored.
- Fixed an issue where picnic tables and baskets from the Log Cabin Area could not be moved or added to the Old Shack.
- Fixed an issue where main thread quests were appearing as uncompleted.
- You can now clear Strawberries/Pineberries even when the Old Shack is full, as they do not drop loot.
With these fixes, everything should work as before. Plants regenerate slower than after refactoring, so you’ll use less Energy.
Also, fixed an issue causing Gifting to be slow for some players.
